Halitosis or bad breath can be hard to deal with, especially since there are many causes of halitosis or bad breath. There are in fact only three main causes of chronic halitosis: bacteria, blood chemistry, and major disease or medical problems. Knowing the cause of halitosis can be the only way to ensure effective results. Knowing if you have halitosis is the first step in getting rid of it and it is important that you detect it first. The reason why it is difficult for self detection is due to a phenomenon known as adaptation. Adaptation causes our olfactory nerves to become used, or adapted to, our sense of smell.
